Hamdan praises members of Dubai Student Council

Following the directives of Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) has approved the formation of the Dubai Student Council for the 2025-26 academic year.

- 

This vibrant idea stems from the Leaders of Tomorrow game changer initiative, part of Dubai’s Education 33 Strategy.

The council comprises 16 students ranging from Grade 9/Year IO to Grade 12/Year 13 who were chosen from across private schools in Dubai.

Reflecting the emirate's rich cultural diversity, members were drawn from 16 private schools representing six different curricula and nine nationalities and cultures.

As council members, they represent nearly 400,000 students across Dubai's private education system.

The council comprises Emirati students and a student of determination, ensuring genuine representation of Dubai's student community. Gender balance was also achieved, with eight male and eight female members, all chosen based on established criteria for excellence.

The council's first meeting was held in the presence of Abdulla Mohammed Al Basti, Secretary-General of The Executive Council of Dubai, and Aisha Miran, Director-General of the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA).
